Why choose 6 days (not 5 or 7)?
| Length | Best when | |--------|-----------| | 5 days | Tight leave / first taste | | 6 days | Solid progression + one exploration day | | 7–8 days | Deeper autonomy + extra kite/Kaouki |
Six days = 5 nights, typically 5–6 coached sessions, one buffer for wind/swell, and space to breathe in the medina.
What’s usually included
- Accommodation (hostel or riad — package dependent)
- Breakfast on many packs
- Daily morning surf coaching (ISA)
- Soft-top / progression board + wetsuit
- Safety brief & debrief
- Optional Kaouki day trip
- Optional kite add-on (~€55 / 2h)

Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1 — Arrival & first bay session
Day 2 — Fundamentals lock-in
Day 3 — Wave selection & video feedback

Day 4 — Sidi Kaouki road trip
Day 5 — Autonomy drills + optional kite

Day 6 — Graduation surf & departure
Sunrise or morning coached session for confident riders. Final debrief, packing, transfer. Leave with muscle memory — not just a holiday photo.
